  • Anon watches Super Size Me

    Jump

  • It wasn't "mission accomplished," there was essentially no difference between the Supersize meals that were discontinued and the large meals that still exist to this day. The movie achieved no positive goals for the general public, and (arguably) helped solidify the general public's perception that fat people wouldn't be fat anymore if they stopped going to McDonalds.

  • That time Apple sent everyone a U2 album: 'I DONT WANT YOU.'

    Jump

  • Yeah, I would agree the loss of agency was also a meaningful impact. That's also pretty visible in Apple's products today—I only ever use the Music app on my iPhone for music I own and synchronize, but it will still give me occasional popups about signing up for the Music subscription.

  • Phoenix Emerges as a Modern X Server Written From Scratch in Zig

    Jump

  • Yeah, this is just building a new engine for a car already at the junkyard. This will have no practical utility when, or if, it reaches parity with X11.

  • I installed Debian on a 2009 Toshiba netbook recently with an Intel Atom N280, KDE worked about the same (not well) in both the X and Wayland modes.

    Someone Is Sending Fake Letters To T-Mobile Customers Shaming Their Browsing History

  • I hacked Microsoft Edge to make my ideal Chromium web browser

    Jump

  • I haven't noticed a website outright blocking Firefox in a while, in part because Firefox devs are staying on top of it with overriding a lot of site blocks. The issue I run into the most is reduced video quality in Google Meet in Firefox, so I switch to Safari or Chromium when I need to do calls there.

  • I hacked Microsoft Edge to make my ideal Chromium web browser

    Jump

  • Chromium builds don't have built-in automatic updates, and they're missing DRM and some other proprietary components that are important. I've seen some community-maintained builds with varying update methods, but they don't seem as well-supported as relying on Google/Microsoft/Vivaldi/whatever.

  • LibreWolf doesn't help me with websites that refuse to work properly on Firefox's engine. I mentioned in the article that Firefox is already my daily web browser, but I've been looking for a good backup Chromium browser for that and other reasons.

  • We hate AI because it's everything we hate

  • I don’t think he is talking about specifically businesses, though, because he also talks about Gemini replacing Google Assistant, which only matters in consumer products (Assistant was never an enterprise product). It’s more like he’s moving the goalposts mid-statement.

  • If the models are more efficient, the tasks that still need a server will get the same result at a lower cost. OpenAI can also pivot to building more local models and license them to device makers, if it wants.

    The finances of big tech companies isn't really relevant anyway, except to point out that Ed Zitron's arguments are not based in reality. Whether or not investors are getting stiffed, the bad outcomes of AI would still be bad, and the good outcomes would still be good.

  • I wrote the article, Ed said that in the linked blog post: "There Is No Real AI Adoption, Nor Is There Any Significant Revenue - As I wrote earlier in the year, there is really no significant adoption of generative AI services or products."

    There is a pretty clear path to profitability, or at least much lower losses. A lot more phones, tablets, computers, etc now have GPUs or other hardware optimized for running small LLMs/SLMs, and both the large and small LLMs/SLMs are becoming more efficient. With both of those those happening, a lot of the current uses for AI will move to on-device processing (this is already a thing with Apple Intelligence and Gemini Nano), and the tasks that still need a cloud server will be more efficient and consume less power.

    Jump

  • I wouldn't really trust Ed Zitron's math analysis when he gets a very simple thing like "there is no real AI adoption" plainly wrong. The financials of OpenAI and other AI-heavy companies are murky, but most tech startups run at a loss for a long time before they either turn a profit or get acquired. It took Uber over a decade to stop losing money every quarter.

    OpenAI keeps getting more funding capital because (A) venture capital guys are pretty dumb, and (B) they can easily ramp up advertisements once the free money runs out. Microsoft has already experimented with ads and sponsored products in chatbot messages, ChatGPT will probably do something like that.

  • Yeah, some Rust code from Servo was integrated a few years ago as the article explains, mainly the CSS engine.

  • Chrome is mostly open-source software, Chromium builds are just missing Google data sync, some video DRM, and other proprietary components. I believe Firefox is completely FOSS.
